DANvILLE, ILL.,, Feb 23.
A hot water heater in car on the Wabash
road, exploded yesterday. Windows were
blown out, both ends of the car shattered and
the entire structure was injured. The next
car received some of the shock, several win
dows being broken. At the time the car was
filed with sleeping passengers. who were
thrown in confusion about the floor. Some
were seriously injured by the broken glass
and pieces of iron and wood. Almost before
the train could be stopped aud the passengers
rescued from their predicament, the car
caught fire from the lamps which had been
shattered and from the fire under the heater,
and was almost entirely destroyed. Enough
time was afforded, however, for the passep-
gers to secure a safer place. Had the train
been going between stations at the usual high
rate Of speed, there might have been another
terrible holocaust.

THE CAPTIVE BROOK.

A brook from the mountains sped.
And wandered on its merry way;
1t wandered where its fancy led,
The livelong night, the hvelong day.
1t sang Of deIls where bird-songs now
1t sang of haunts where lilies grow'i
1t sang in tones that lovers know,
Allday, all day.
The sunbeams on its ripples lay
And laughter through Its cadence proA'
And as it danced away, away,
Unnumbered harmon1es aWoke,
1t loitered by thd dropping flower,
It sang the love-dream of the bower,
The song was new from hour to hour,
AL day, all day.
A miller came one morn o. May,
And bound the brooklet to his mill.
Where labor wears the hours away,
And its harsh sound is never still.
And round and round to fill his store
The water turns the mill-wheel DER,
But, ah the brooklet sings no more,
All day, all day.
